GARMENT-HANGER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 767,123, dated. August9, 1904.

Application filed September 16, 1903. Serial No. 178,4d3. (N0 model.)

To (Li/Z whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN J. QUINN, a citizen of the United States,and aresident of Warren, in the county of Warren and State of Pennsylvania,have invented certain new and. useful Improvements in Garment-Hangers,of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improvement in garment-hangers, and has forits object to provide simple compact means for hanging up trousers,skirts, and other garments.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a plan View of the hanger. Fig. 2 is a sideview, and Fig. 3 is an end view from the right of Fig. 1.

The hanger comprises a back, two springarrns attached thereto extendingtoward each other and tending normally to press inwardly upon anygarment that may be inserted between them and the back. The hanger isrepresented as made of spring-wire and the whole hanger as formed fromtwo pieces.

The back A presents a straight smooth surface, against which thetrousers or other garment is held by the arms B and C. At the left handof Fig. 1 the wire forming the back is continued into the arm B and bentthrough the arc B, which forms a spring arm 0 is screw-threaded in orderthat the hanger may be attached to a wall thereby. The end of the otherpiece, either 0 or B, as

the case may be, is formed into a loop I),

which acts as a stop and abutment when the hanger is set up. The innerend of the arm C is bent through the spring-arc C and continued into thearm proper.

An open space is left between the ends of the arms B and C, so that thegarment can be readily inserted within the hanger. The spring-arcs B andC, in addition to the arms B and O, which are themselves elastic, causethe arms to grip firmly any garment that is placed beneath them.

The hanger is easily and cheaply constructed. It is light, thoughstrong, and it can be readily attached wherever desired.

What I claim is- A garment-hanger consisting of two pieces of elasticwire coiled together at the shank, one of said pieces being longer thanthe other and having arecurved hook at the end, and a shorter pieceextending along the first piece and forming with it a second hookopposed to the first with a space between the ends of the hooks.
